I am not from England but I enjoy soccer. Actually it's the most popular world sport. Not that I play it much. I'm mostly into tennis and basketball. As for the teaser, I got the first two parts. The last part I thought was sister-in-law.

If he were a doctor and ordained, he could have euthanized his mother when she was failing, performed a wedding ceremony for his sister, and perhaps he was older than the pastor / father of his church.

triskelex--Good point! It bothered me too. I would hate to be a person who knows that my mother died when I was born and for it to be considered that I killed her. I thought that this teaser was a bit morbid.

Too many possible answers for there to be "one" correct one. And I think the inclusion of a word swatich (before uncommononly used to mean in front of) amidst a teaser about familial relationships is a little... odd. Maybe even cheap.

First, when a woman dies in childbirth, she is NOT murdered by the child. Second, I'll give you that the father was with the mother at the time of delivery, and thus he was born before his father. 3rd, Roman Catholic priests do not marry anyone, other priests do. But, when a priest, minister, judge, etc. officiates at a wedding, they do not marry the people, the people marry each other. The statement: "I pronounce you husband and wife." doesn't make them husband and wife, it's the vows that they say before hand that make them husband and wife. The officiant could just as easily say: "That's it." and the couple would be just as legally married.

I came up with how he killed his mother and married his sister but missed the part about being born before his father.
I enjoyed this teaser despite the flaws that some have pointed out.
Perhaps those of you who took issue with it could submit a teaser or your own that is not so problematic. IT is harder than you think.

I really liked this teaser - I worked out how he killed his mother and that he must have been a vicar/priest to marry his sister but I didn't get the bit about being born before (or in front of) his father - I was thinking about genetics and IVF and wondering if it could be possible to be born before your parents if scientist were involved! lol! Good Teaser!

One other, very simple, answer, I think, is that he did it all as an actor in a play. The first and last behaviors are simple, and he could possibly be born before the actor playing his father was born.
